To this day, Chuck Dixon doesn't know why he wasn't invited back. It's a damn shame.
Funny enough, we're back to Chuck Dixon, who was writing the book when it got canceled. In hindsight, I wonder how thing's would've panned out, for both IDW and DDP, if they had stuck to one non-Hama continuity. I'm also would be curious to see how that would've played out. I think the thing about Reloaded was that it was very grounded and was meant to showcase how GI Joe and COBRA would operate if they existed in the real world. So when IDW picked up the tab they probably wanted to have a non-Hama GI Joe continuity that wasn't as grounded and could include stuff like BATs. My general reading is that the IDW continuity is closer to what traditional Joe fans want from a non-Hama contuity. Fresh takes on the characters while still maintaining elements of Hama's vision like high-tech weapons and robots. Something like Reloaded would be a fun take as a more experimental continuity akin to Marvel's Max Universe. |

I read some of Hama's newer run. I did not enjoy it. Costa, Dixon, Brooks' "Hearts and Minds" were all more compelling.
I will always appreciate what Hama did on the original ARAH. It was great and fun reading as a kid. |

I still don't understand why people think Hama's comic has to die in order for a restart to happen.
Just start your reboot/refresh/reimagining alongside the Hama comic and let those of us who still want Hama comics have our Hama comics. That worked out pretty well for Mike Costa a few years back. Nothing stopping somebody from doing it again. |

I think the Hama readers are the Hama readers, and at this point, nothing will stop them (us) from showing up. But I think it's up to the new publisher to generate excitement and buzz for the new title. If all that mattered was slapping the G.I. Joe name on the front of a book and then selling to some pre-set amount of readers, all the recent "tries" by IDW would have sold the same, and they haven't. They've got to figure out how to re-create the success of the start of the IDW run. At the time, IDW did that with four different titles, and the sleeper hit was the one by the then-least known writer. That line was popular enough, that although they cut one title (origins) they added an extra series (Snake Eyes) and a bunch of mini-series. Every "reimagining" IDW did since then hasn't been nearly as popular. I do know that the Transformers/GIJoe series was one of those things that people either loved or hated. I have no idea what it did sales wise. I honestly wouldn't be too terribly surprised if they tried to re-create the formula exactly and they just brought back Dixon and Costa. But I would like to see them change it up a bit, with somebody like Brian K Vaughn or Nick Spencer writing the book. And then let Hama keep producing the one thing only he can produce, and which some of us still want--G.I.Joe comics written by Larry Hama. I do think that when it comes to why the new IDW stuff "hits different," at least some of the problem is the art. I wonder if some of the big moments from the ARAH IDW run would have "hit" better if the art looked more like Rod Whigham or Frank Springer. I wonder if it at least would have felt more like the classic run to more people and less like some weird new thing.
